ASM - Rear Bumper Cover

Anybody know where I could find the best price on a replacement? I have an '06, the wonderfully cold winter we had started a spiderweb in my paint and it looks horrendous!

Cold weather shouldn't cause spider web, and you don't need a new bumper, just need it sanded down.

I was thinking for a while that possibly somebody just barely bumped into me in the cold weather and it just go worse from there...either way I think it'd cost about the same to repair it as it would for a new bumper cover anyway so I figured it would just be easier to buy a whole new one, I'm just not sure what the most cost effective way to do that would be. I'd like to have it fixed before the AZ meet so it doesn't look like dogshit lol

It would defintely be cheaper and better to fix it so that the color can be blended, rather then a brand new bumper cover and a chance fo mismatched paint.

It's no big deal to sand it down and prime it, color, clear done

Unfortunately it's already pretty badly mismatched, I think the dealership replaced it before they put it on the lot with an SSM bumper cover instead of ASM like it should be on my car. At the time I didn't care too much since I practically stole it from the stealership.
